On November 30, 2013, Paul Walker attended a charity event in California for Reach Out Worldwide, the nonprofit organization for disaster victims that he had set up to help provide relief around the world following the Haiti earthquakes in 2010.
That afternoon Walker left the event with his friend Roger Rodas. Rodas was driving a 2005 Porsche Carrera GT and Walker was riding in the passenger seat when Rodas lost control of the car on Hercules Street in Santa Clarita and crashed into light pole and tree. Both men died when the car burst into flames.
Walker, who was 40 years old, was on a hiatus from filming the seventh movie in the ongoing Fast & Furious franchise when the accident occurred.
